The global identity and access management market size was estimated at USD 8.92 billion in 2014. Increasing demand for cloud-native architecture and better network capabilities are expected to drive demand across enterprises. These solutions are broadly adopted by medium and large-scale industries as well as by government agencies.

Companies operating across cloud platforms offer complete on-demand development tools such as cloud database and cloud infrastructure layer, which enable enterprise IT groups to test, develop, and deliver customer on-demand business applications without investing in traditional system infrastructure.

IAM solutions are evolving into a risk-based program, with capabilities focused on enforcement of logical access control and entitlement management. Enterprises have started achieving benefits from their costs, but face the challenges to manage time-incentive processes such as manual approval and provisioning.

Inadequate identity assurance for cloud services & applications and lack of trust in cloud service providers is expected to hamper growth. Major gap between the CSPs and service consumer due to lack of awareness about cloud computing solutions is anticipated to cause vulnerability issues. However, increase in global spending of government and large-scale organizations on centralizing the management of identities with security id solutions and servicesis expected to reduce the impact over the next few years.As IAM continues to evolve over the forecast period, enterprises are estimated to look for broader and more advanced solutions, which are adaptable to trends such as cloud and mobile computing.

The industry can be categorized by deployment into cloud, hybrid and on-premise IAM. Identity administration functions continue to be delivered in enterprise silos, leading to users with inefficient process, excessive access, and higher costs of provisioning and de-provisioning.

On-premise identity and access management market accounted for over 55% of the overall share in 2014 and is expected to lose considerable share by 2022. On-premise infrastructure uses traditional in-house data centers that completely controls security patches and software updates. However, security breaches due to unauthorized physical access cannot be detected by this technology. On the other hand, cloud hosting companies protect customers and alert them immediately which would positively favor demand for cloud and hybrid solutions.

Several regulatory reforms and stringent government regulations are causing enterprises and organizations to address their internal control infrastructure. For example, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), healthcare organizations are required to ensure the portability of healthcare coverage and the privacy of patient records. It requires organizations to train employees to effectively follow privacy measures, designate one individual in the organization in charge of HIPPA compliance and implementation, and undertake considerable measures for limiting the disclosure of patient information such as securing electronic access to patient records.
